Microbiology Lesson

Life science learners read a set of six short Discovery Readings that describe historical events in the field of microbiology. For each, they identify clues about when the event occurred and then they try to arrange events in...

Students demonstrate knowledge of important advances in microbiology by creating a timeline of microbiological milestones. Student also demonstrate application of the many milestones in microbiology by researching and reporting on the...

Learners research microbiologists.  In this research lesson, students will research a microbiologist, create timeline sections, and build a timeline.  Learners will also use a website to research a particular branch of microbiology.

Have you ever wanted to know the true structure of E.coli? Does the thought of peering into its "small world" sound exciting? Here is a lesson plan that allows pupils the ability to do just that. Blossoming microbiologists use...

You may have heard that, if you've had chicken pox, the shingles virus is already inside you. The bad news? It may not be alone! Introduce your microbiology class to some of the trickiest pathogens we know of in the 151st video in an...

Ready for a lesson on the wonders of cooking? Young scientists view the short video segment and explore the science of temperature changes on physical and chemical properties in food as the cooking process transforms raw ingredients into...

Did you hear the joke about bacteria? Never mind, I don't want to spread it around. The instructional activity begins with pupils making a representation of chromosomal material modeling the bacterial cell. Then, they use swabs to test...

Students determine what bacteria need to survive. In this microbiology instructional activity, students observe behavior of bacterial colonies. They complete their lab report and formulate conclusion.

Humans are like planets, hosting a plethora of microbial communities. This concept is explored with vivid narration and animation, bringing to light the benefits of the huge variety of microbes that live in and on our bodies. What a fun...

Biomanufacturing and genetic engineering are very common practices around the world, but what exactly does it entail? Young geneticists find out through a series of labs, a discussion, and an in-class presentation to report their...
